Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

I think they are too young for marriage. They are still figuring out what they REALLY want (especially Jacklyn). They've set up an interesting dynamic. I'd really like to see Michael show a little anger. haha. Jacklyn seems a bit whiney. I'm not one of those super pretty girls so I did develop other atttributes. I do know there are lots of women out there who are very shallow and focus nearly everything on their image. So much so, that they really struggle to find their own voice and not manipulate others by their beauty.

Perhaps Michael should listen to that song.."If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, don't make a pretty woman your wife,"

I think they're just young...and if they succeed in the SO house, they will have more promise than most of us young marrieds did.

Yes Netty, so true!!!

I'm rooting for these two. Beauty is a matter of taste and I'm sure there are folks out there who think Jacylyn isn't that beautiful, so the whole beauty thing is really meaningless.

I think she's pretty normal in terms of her crying. I'm assuming she's never been married, so she's taking this very seriously.
And I say good for her - so why did Michael suddenly change his mind about supporting her? The episode before, he was saying he was going to listen to her, be there for her and support her - and he WAS doing it.
So what happened? I can't wait for today's conclusion to the BoR!

I'm not really sure what's going to happen for this couple. I hope they can both get the help they need and move on in life together. I seems to me that the LC's are trying to get them to see it's about themselves and not each other?? I'm not really sure it's a little confusing? Within the next 7 days hopefully they can get past this?

I think many of Michaels and Jaclyns problems stem fromt he fact that they are young and still trying to find themselves and until they do they wont be able to make a marriage work.

This couple definately gets on my nerves. I have to fast forward through everytime she cries. I can't buy into her story. She seems to me like she is just there for the show...alot like Tess.

I agree with your flmedgirl. From the first time I saw her, I thought she looked familiar. Like I had seen her on tv before, maybe another reality show. I don't know. She seems a little phony to me. Don't get me wrong, I understand what she is going through having Michael cheat on her. That happened to me. I guess time will tell. I haven't seen the show yet today so I don't know what happened with her in the BoR.
